The 6th Annual New England Manipulation Symposium (NEMS) will take place at University of Massachusetts Amherst on Friday, May 28th, 2010. The program can be downloaded from here.

The main goals of this event are to exploit our geographic proximity to explore common research interests, to establish and strengthen collaborations, and to give students the opportunity to network and present their work.

Previous years' symposia were extremely successful in bringing together robotics researchers in the New England area. NEMS 2009 was held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and attended by approximately 50 participants from 14 institutions.
